Art from Error: Actionscript 2 in Action!
Here's a strange but cool use of Actionscript. It's called glich-gen and, as the name would suggest, uses glitches in image files to generate very curious patterns accompanied by unsettling ambient noises. (Thanks to the folks at turbulence.org for the tip on this, and thanks to Sam Ewen for the tip on turbulence. BTW, if you followed that last link, then you now know that Sam has a cool blog devoted to user-generated media.)
You might ask, "Matt, why are you writing about this on a blog devoted to marketing and creative careers?"
"Well," I might respond, "I assume that people pursuing careers in design will want to know about interesting or at least odd uses of the technologies they depend on for their livelihoods. Similarly, marketers should know who is pushing the limits of content creation and web-based communication."
"Why do you ask?"
